Tumbleweed — Daily videos of people sharing their POV on today's issues

If Whale and New York Times had a baby, this might be it. I really like the concept, if they can build a healthy community and attract entertaining/insightful contributors (it's hard to produce good video). Downloading this now. Will report back with impressions. 😊

Reminds me of Speakup: Video conversations about topics that matter. https://www.producthunt.com/post...

Thanks for hunting us @rrhoover! Hello everyone, today we are happy to introduce Tumbleweed, a platform to speak openly and honestly about the topics that matter 🎉 I'm sure @mrciscoadler and @shaunneff will add more comments to this since we've been working really hard to make something that could truly reinvent how people consume/react to news and current events in the world. At it's very core we've aimed to create a product that gives people a voice to speak up on what matters to them and to magnify that through the power of network and our contributors, since we believe everyone deserves a voice and a chance to be heard in a cluttered information blackhole we call internet 🖥 We will be around whole day, so feel free to check out the app and ask us anything, feedback is much appreciated <3

Agree with @rrhoover here. This will hinge on a healthy community of contributors. It feels quite like an open mic for the public to speak up/respond to current events, which should be valuable for traditional media.

Saw TW featured in the "news" section of the App Store yesterday. Awesome app to "stand up" & share your opinion via the least path of resistance .. #Video 🔥🔥🔥

That's a quite interesting product that potentially could disrupt media/news market. It will be easier to share your opinion on a particular topic, without spending precious time on Facebook for making a post. Good job guys. Hope it would gain a critical mass of influencers for sustain growth.

As someone who share my thoughts daily on snapchat, this is pretty much an extension, but being able to reach more public audience on larger topics. Pretty cool! If theres a business section .. you'll see me hanging around there! ;P

I like the concept, will give it a try. Hope there would be enough high quality content. Good luck, guys!

Thanks Ryan. We feel that a digital soapbox is needed in this ever changing and wild world we live in. TUMBLEWEED offers a platform with purpose to consume and discuss real topics we face everyday that effect our lives and the lives of our loved ones. As the community grows we hope this allows real conversations about real issues and let's flip the script on news and start the coversation with real people facing issues not being told another story by Anderson Cooper. Haha peace and much love PH

Really looking forward to test it. If the guys are on the main of PH, I think they will be performing pretty great with user aquisition.

Lot's of movement seen in this more social, accurate and non-sugarcoating type of video sharing (reminded me of beme, though conceptually different). I like it, congrats on the launch!

Wow, so I'm late the the Party!? Thanks @rrhoover for hunting this! I'm pretty sure the election results have made everybody, from both sides, feel more strongly about the next four years than any other possible outcome. We made this app to help facilitate the discussion necessary to create the change we need! In a time where the internet is filled with so much noise(and literally fake news), we hope to make this the platform to cut through the clutter and bring whats most important to the to everyone's attention. Hunters, thank for making this a great start to the beginning of hopefully a new influential community!

At this point you’ve heard it all. I’d mimic what you’re seeing from everyone who found you before I did. Love it. The app worked just fine. Great design. Amazing purpose and well timed given the environment we’re moving into over the next 4 years. I will definitely be thinking about jumping in and contributing. Kudos to you all for building such a product & best wishes on getting this out there. Stay motivated-this is great.

I love the app already 😄. It is great to hear the opinions of others with the ability to respond to them. This will definitely be an app I will keep using. Great job👌🏾

Hey everyone!! I'll be on here all day to take in all your amazing input and answer any questions you may have. Our team is excited share this with you all!

Amazing app! I've been beta testing Tumbleweed and couldn't be more impressed. Raw, unfiltered, and honest. Finely curated, with the luxury to push your own content, ideas, and stories that the media either misses, or ignores altogether. Bottom line, I'm done with the metaphorical echo chamber. I want to learn, I want to understand, and furthermore, I want to grow. Tumbleweed is the drug. Very well done.

Tumbleweed's goal was to become as a service to give millennials a voice in today's news cycle. We're excited to see the community around Tumbleweed grow and have had a few eye-opening insights about 1) What people care about, and 2) What people really feel about, and how past experiences shape their opinion on current issues today. Thanks for the love, we'll be around all day answering questions 💯💯💯 🎉 👌🏻

Really cool app for times like these! Cool to find people who have different opinions speak out loud!

Big fan of the UI and the unique concept behind Tumbleweed. I've been beta testing the app and I believe that it is very important that the power gets put into the hands of the people who are experiencing certain issues, which does not happen now in traditional news reporting. One feature that I enjoy in particular is being able to pitch your own stories directly through the app. Very excited to see how Tumbleweed continues to evolve!

This is one of the best platforms I've seen for kids to be able to voice their opinions on a variety of topics. No more hiding behind your keyboard in the comments section, this app breathes life into the stories that matter most. Really looking forward to seeing the community grow and push important conversations. Oh yeah and great UI!
